The event, the second of its kind so far, was opened on September 4, calling for “Love without border and financial assistance for the disabled”.

The charity event, drawing over 60 agencies of foreign diplomatic corps and international organisations in China, aimed to raise fund for the construction of community-based functional rehabilitation centres and improve life quality, such as the capacity of community integration, for the disabled in Gansu and He Bei provinces, which were hardest hit by recent huge mudslides.

A deputy president of the Chinese Federation of the Disabled, Tang Xiao Quan, expressed thanks to the foreign diplomatic corps and foreign business circles for their thoughtfulness and assistance to Chinese disabled people.

The latest survey showed that China was home to some 83 million disabled people, mostly in the countryside./.
